Me too!!! Ugh I wanted to smack him!!! ;(

Congrats on the new baby and how did you do with the weight loss I also have pcos and am so scared that I won't be able to lose very much (I'm only 10 days out)

Hi everyone! I had surgery the 10th and everything's going really well I'm on zofran for nausea but all of a sudden I have horrible heartburn it's the weekend and I can't get ahold of the dr and don't want to go to the hospital because it's not an emergency but does anyone know of anything over the counter that I can go get

Thanks I'm definitely going to try that!

Omg you have amazing will power having a birthday party while you're still on liquids!!!

I'm the same way with the commercials omg they're terrible LOL

http://calorielab.com/restaurants/sonic/sunshine-smoothie/14/2046 This one says 400 calories but only 3grams of sugar and 51 grams of Protein which is REALLY good!

I'm feeling the same way except my cravings are for meat I'm on puréed foods for the next 2 weeks and I'm dieing for normal foods my husband made barbecue wings and I really thought I was going to tackle him and steal the plate LOL its really driving me crazy :/

Thanks! The cauliflower sounds really good I'm definitely making that tomorrow!

I was sleeved on the 10th and have never felt so sick to my stomach in my life every little sip makes me want to throw up the doctors aren't acting concerned but did anyone else go through this and when will it go away...I'm getting as much fluids down as I possibly can but I'm MISERABLE!

i definitely think it is the pain meds it seems like i can either take them and throw up or not take them and be in pain, does anyone know anything other than liquid roxicet that i could ask him to write me a prescription for?..the doctor didnt give me anything for stomach acid can i just go to the store and buy something or is it prescription only?

I was in the hospital up until this morning I'm not on any heartburn meds just a liquid pain killer

Awe that's a really good idea!!!

This is probably going to sound really stupid but now that my surgerys getting closer i find myself obsessing about alot of things and its really starting to make me depressed , not like depressed about the surgery im actually super excited about that but more like depressed that i did so many things in my life and wasted so much time while i was overweight, like i was looking at my wedding pictures and burst into tears the other day and no matter how many people have told me that i was beautiful in them i still pick out every flaw i see in every picture and it makes me so depressed because thats a moment in my life that ill never ever get back ill never have another wedding and i wasted it being overweight, obviously if i would have known i was getting the surgery i would have waited but at the time i didnt even know what vertical sleeve surgery was let alone that i would be getting it a year and a half later,..and thats just one example, pictures of my sons birthday parties and other events have been doing it, looking at my old clothes, it seems like any little thing can set me off soo i guess what im asking is has anyone else gone through anything like this or am i just losing it lol This is one of my wedding pictures so you can see what im dealing with...

Yeah I'm definitely excited about all the fun stuff that's coming up idk why I've just felt really down on myself lately, its judt very hard to realize hiw big i really let myself get :/ I guess I just need to stop living in the past and focus more on the new healthy me

Added all of you thanks!

Thank you so much!!! it's great to have such supportive new friends <3

yep october 10th thanks ill definitely keep you all posted!

Thanks everyone for helping me get my head in straight, my mom used to always tell me I'm my biggest critic and I guess she was right lol, I just feel like I'm carrying so much guilt about letting myself get so big and it's hard to let it go and just let myself be completely happy especially when theres a nagging voice in the back of my head telling me all the diets and things I've tried before haven't worked so this won't either...but I know that it will because I REFUSE to let myself fail again, I can't I'm only 25 and on the verge of diabetes, I don't want to die young I have too much to live for I really love the ideas of renewing my vows and buying a pretty dress or something that I can work towards fitting into, I guess it's time to stop focusing on the old memories and start making some new ones!!! I really appreciate all the support my surgery is on the 10th and I can't wait to start working towards the new HEALTHY me!

i definitely think you should buy one just dont use it every day or you will definitely end up getting frustrated maybe just weigh yourself once or twice a week to make sure that youre staying on track good luck with your surgery mines on Wednesday!

So happy for you I can relate to EVERYTHING you said! My surgerys on the 10th and I can't wait!!! Good luck and definitely keep us updated
